Bone King's Universal Grocery

Chapter 373 Li Hong's Test
"Is it related to me? Come on, Lord Mingyue is a high-level executive in Liberty City, the one who is really in power. How can I be a level 8 magician in her eyes?" Qi Xiaolian said suspiciously.

"Compared to you, I have nothing special about me. I have clear and detailed records of everything I did from the University to the City Guards. If Master Mingyue wants to know anything, you can just check it out. Why bother to find it? I?

Besides, Master Mingyue specifically mentioned that he asked you to go to their store with me, obviously because he wanted to see you! "

Hearing what Zhong Qing said, Qi Xiaolian couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Could it be that Mingyue is really looking for her?
With such doubts, the two came to the universal grocery store. At this moment, the universal grocery store just opened, and Mingyue and other people in the store were busy. Only Li Hong, who was wearing a black robe and a mask, was lying there as usual. on a recliner.

Zhong Qing wanted to go up to say hello to Li Hong, but she suddenly caught a few strands of black hair wrapped around Li Hong's slender neck.

Zhong Qing hesitated for a moment, and didn't dare to go up. In her impression, Li Hong was a man, but from the perspective of her neck and beautiful hair, which she had captured and interrogated prisoners in the city guards for many years, the man on the recliner was definitely a man. female.

Although the masks and clothes of the two are the same, and even the movements of lying on the reclining chair are the same, and because of the black robe, other features of this person cannot be seen clearly, but Zhong Qing can be sure that this person is not someone she knows Li Hong.

Qi Xiaolian felt a little strange. She remembered that Zhong Qing and Li Hong obviously knew each other before, and they even had a good relationship.

According to Zhong Qing's tutoring, anyone who knows her will definitely come forward to say hello when they meet her, but why are they standing here without moving a muscle today?
Qi Xiaolian originally wanted to ask via voice transmission, and she also knew that the current occasion is not suitable for asking questions, only voice transmission is more suitable, but as soon as her mental strength fluctuated, she felt a chill crawling up the back of her neck, and she was caught The hairs stood up in fright, and the whole back was soaked in cold sweat in an instant.

Zhong Qing's attention was attracted by Li Hong, and she didn't notice Qi Xiaolian's abnormality. In order not to hurt Zhong Qing, Qi Xiaolian endured a lot of pressure by herself, until around noon, the grocery store was almost empty of customers, and Mingyue came. The pressure suddenly disappeared when they were around the two of them.

"Sorry, Captain Zhong, Mrs. Qi, the store is a little busy, so I've neglected you two." Mingyue said to the two of them.

"Master Mingyue is too polite, I don't know why Master Mingyue called me here today?"

"There is indeed something wrong! Hey! Li Hong, can you stop pretending to be asleep? You don't know how to greet the guests when they come."

Hearing this, Li Hong sat up from the recliner and stretched her waist. With this movement, Zhong Qing saw the graceful figure wrapped in the black robe, and Zhong Qing frowned subconsciously.

Qi Xiaolian noticed Zhong Qing's gaze, and wanted to remind her that it's very impolite to stare at others like this.

But her body has already been overwhelmed by the sudden pressure just now, it is not easy to stand up now, let alone do something to remind Zhong Qing.

"If I were you, I wouldn't force myself." An orchid-like voice sounded from under the mask.

Zhong Qing and Qi Xiaolian were stunned when they heard this voice.

"The pressure just now should have squeezed out every bit of strength in your body. If you force yourself, you will be injured."

"It was you just now?" Qi Xiaolian asked with difficulty.

"Well, it's me! I want to see if you deserve to hear what I have to say next!"

Hearing this, Qi Xiaolian raised a mocking smile, which was particularly dazzling on her pale face. Mingyue glanced at her expression, then turned her head and glared at Li Hong.

"Madam Qi, don't mind, this guy is just so self-righteous, he often does things that bother others."

Qi Xiaolian shook her head when she heard the words: "According to the laws of Liberty City, I am now a female prisoner on parole, and I am still serving my sentence.

Master Mingyue, you, the patriarch of the Alberina family, one of the councilors of Liberty City, you can do anything to me legally.

It's just that I don't understand, why do you take so much trouble to call me in front of you to do such unnecessary things? "

"Wait a minute, Madam Qi, right? I think you misunderstood two things. First, Mingyue didn't call you over, but me. Second, I didn't mean to look down on you or humiliate you. I What I said just now was just stating an objective fact. What I want to say is really not worthy of being heard by ordinary people.

Just now you silently endured my pressure in order not to implicate your friend, and even knowing Mingyue's identity, you fought hard with reason. I am very satisfied with your performance. "

"So?" Qi Xiaolian asked blankly.

"Congratulations, you passed my test, and I apologize to you." After speaking, Li Hong took off his mask and apologized to Qi Xiaolian.

Li Hong's beautiful face made most of Qi Xiaolian's dissatisfaction and grievance dissipate at once. People like beautiful things, and the so-called beauty is delicious. Facing this face, Qi Xiaolian really couldn't get angry.

"Ahem, what, Madam Qi, just now you said that you are now a female prisoner on parole? Haven't you figured out everything about you? The city lord didn't rehabilitate you?" As soon as I asked.

Madam Qi smiled wryly and did not speak, and turned to look at Zhong Qing, who quickly explained: "Master Mingyue is like this, according to the laws of our City of Liberty, if a case that has already been determined is to be re-tried, there must be a case with the owner of the city. A document with an adult's seal.

Before, the city lord just announced that there was something hidden about Xiao Lian's buying and killing, and that a retrial would be arranged, but after a long time, there was no document down. Transferred to the prison of the City Guards.

Although Xiaolian says she lives with me, she is actually a prisoner, and she is called every morning in the prison of the City Guards. "

After hearing Zhong Qing's explanation, Mingyue was speechless for a while, and Li Hong beside him also looked strange.

"I said Mingyue, it's not because Guo Lin forgot about her affairs!"

"Li Lihong, what nonsense are you talking about? Is the city lord such a forgetful person? He must be too busy to take care of it. That must be the case. Madam Qi, don't worry! I will go to the city lord in a while Mansion, tell the city lord, let him write the document as soon as possible."

Qi Xiaolian was relieved when she heard the words, no one wanted to live as a prisoner, Qi Xiaolian was no exception, now that Mingyue was willing to help her out, Qi Xiaolian's dissatisfaction caused by Li's test had completely dissipated.
